It's neighbours, not SA or Aussies ..... their best batsman is in ICL

 

[Usman Chadda]

Tanvir gets the danger man Uthappa. It was only a matter of time, he was troubling him a lot with the angle

India 83/5

 

[sagar]

Wonder if India can get to 100?

 

[Hari Sombar]

Pathan in, not seen him for a long time

 

[Zechariah]

excellent, great delivery, big wicket

 

[tmac4real]

gone...Tanveer gets Robin uttapha!

tanvir has bwoled realy well, and us aid he was a horrible replacement

 

[PlanetPakistan]

oh very lucky there Irfan...gets a single

 

[purplehaze]

Wonder if India can get to 100?

So Pak cant chase 100 is it?

 

[JammydodgA]

brillant! Robin's out!

 

[sagar]

So Pak cant chase 100 is it?

Come out of the fantasy please?

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

Ahhh Huge sigh of relief! Uthappa gone. Was looking dangerous.

 

[Saj]

I'd like to see Dhoni out soon. Dont want him around in the death overs

 

[purplehaze]

7 overs left ... 5 wickets in hand .... another 50-60 runs would do good for us.

 

[Salman]

Oh nearly, inside edge....

 

[tmac4real]

pathan looked nervous as hell

 

[Usman Chadda]

Tanvir has good variation too. A decent bouncer and a good yorker in that over

 

[Hari Sombar]

Just need Dhoni to hang on, mind you Uthappa is a real talent

 

[purplehaze]

Come out of the fantasy please?

doesn't my fantasy scares you? be honest! You know batting .. don't you?

 

[Saj]

Afridi to Pathan. Old rivalries renewed

 

[Salman]

Afridi back on, single taken 85-5 13.1

 

[PlanetPakistan]

ahh great stuff from Tanveer...Dhoni told Irfan that he is going to bowl an inswinger but Tanveer bowled a quick bouncer

 

[Salman]

another single taken, 86-5

 

[Obsessed_in_a_good_way]

I bet Pathan and Dhoni would have an arrangement ... have Irfan Pathan go after the spinners, while Dhoni saves himself for the last 4 slog overs.

Watch out ... Afridi v Pathan coming up!

 

[the_game]

Purplehaze, please stay back once the match is done. Till then, give the annoying comments a rest.

 

[Saj]

I'd like Pak to continue attacking, rather than go on the defensive here and allow easy singles.

Go for wickets !

 

[sagar]

7 overs left ... 5 wickets in hand .... another 50-60 runs would do good for us.

Wishful thinking. )

 

[Salman]

Stumping appeal turned down,

indian camp looking depressed...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Afridi having to bowl with a wet ball...thankfully he doesn't look to spin it too much

 

[Mercenary]

Has anyone noticed that Afridi looks nervous today?

He doesnt look as confident with that ball as I'm used to. Is it because the ball is wet or because he's feeling the pressure?

 

[Saj]

90 for 5 from 14 overs.

 

[Plasma]

good fielding by butt, dives for the ball

 

[Salman]

Well stopped by nazir, india still take three,,,

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Pathan gets 3...it's 90/5

 

[Saj]

Has anyone noticed that Afridi looks nervous today?

He doesnt look as confident with that ball as I'm used to. Is it because the ball is wet or because he's feeling the pressure?

You know Merc, I just said the same thing just now. Doesnt look at ease.

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Ok i think Dhoni is going to reallly attack now

 

[invincible]

ahh great stuff from Tanveer...Dhoni told Irfan that he is going to bowl an inswinger but Tanveer bowled a quick bouncer

I think he signalled something like - it would skid off the surface

 

[PlanetPakistan]

You know Merc, I just said the same thing just now. Doesnt look at ease.

Wet ball may be? he thinks the conditions aren't right for him

 

[Salman]

Another good ball, Pathaan beaten...



Top fielding by Malik, leading from the front...

 

[PlanetPakistan]

Shoaib Malik saves 3 runs

 

[purplehaze]

If India scores 120, Pak would need to score them in 14.2 overs to throw India out of competiiton ...... some stats

 

[Salman]

Four, Sq Cut by Dhoni...

 

[Mercenary]

You know Merc, I just said the same thing just now. Doesnt look at ease.

He doesnt tend to bowl too well against India in the limited overs game, perhaps that's playing in the back of his mind

 

[the_game]

Great cut shot from Dhoni.

 

[Plasma]

very good fielding! very surprised today

 

[pak4life]

fielding has been excellent today

 

[PlanetPakistan]

97/5 from 15 overs...Sohail tanveer has been awesome

 

[12thMan]

Ind 97-5 after 15 overs

 

[kablooee87]

Good first figures for Tanvir.

 

[sagar]

Great spell by the newcomer.

 

[BD-fan]

1st time at a match thread while a match is going on. (Meaning I am not watching just following online commentary)

Can Pakistan send India home?

 

[purplehaze]

Need 5 sixes from Dhoni ... he has 30 balls to do it

 

[Salman]

105-5 15.3 overs...


OUT OF THE GROUND.. SIX...

Not happending for Afridi with the ball...



Another SIX.....

 

[purplehaze]

Need 5 sixes from Dhoni ... he has 30 balls to do it

Got my 1st by pathan .... 4 more! Comeon India

 

[Plasma]

[PlanetPakistan]

[the_game]

Fake Pathan has enraged the real Pathan here. Huge six!

 

[purplehaze]

Got my 1st by pathan .... 4 more! Comeon India

Got my 2nd by pathan .... 3 more! Comeon India ......


edit: Pathan departs leaving others batsman to have some fun as well

 

[Mercenary]

Massive back to back sixes by Irfan to Afridi, lol taste your own medicine Afridi

 

[pak4life]

if india get around 150 we will have to get them in 15 overs to knock them out

 

[Salman]

The Real Phataan Strikes.....

 

[Atif]

[PlanetPakistan]
